It was Memphis x Nashville at the 2015 CMA Awards on Wednesday night when Justin Timberlake took to the stage to perform with the ever-so-soulful, and the CMAs newly crowned Best New Artist, Chris Stapleton.
The pair sang a duet to Stapleton’s song “Tennessee Whiskey,” before going into an incredible rendition of JT’s “Drink You Away.” They brought the house down.
Timberlake has been an avid supporter of Stapleton’s music even before his debut solo album “Traveller” was released in May 2015 and soared up the music charts.
REAL music fans already know. So, mainstream:
Remember that name…
